Greetings from Dave Sorochty in Alexandria, VA
I used to be into model rocketry in the early-mid 1970's. Back then I built a bunch of Estes rockets and one Centuri. I went to Battle Park a couple times and an MDRA launch in the mid 1990's, but never really got back into it.
Last Christmas my nephew said he wanted a model rocket. Of course he wanted the one with an HD camera on it! So I got him an Astrocam and a starter set and we did a couple launches. We have gone to a few MDRA launches on MDs Eastern Shore including Red Glare 2022.
I have built a couple NCR Hobgoblins and launched one on an F and a G motor! Lots of fun for sure! I have a Mega Der Red Max clone kit I still need to build, and I think I can get my Level 1 with that.
